Groundhog's Day is one of Bill Murray's more well known movies where he played Phil Connors, a TV weatherman sent to Punxsutawney, PA to report on the annual Groundhog's Day festival. The twist was he kept repeating the same day, encountering the same people over and over and over.
I guess you could say I'm currently in Groundhog's Day mode at my job. I've been trying to move to my new position as a merchandiser but each week...I continue to loop back to the warehouse (aka my Groundhog's Day). I guess they haven't found anyone qualified to replace me which I take as a compliment but at the same time, I really want to move on...it's been three years in the warehouse. My longest running tenured job and I've learned a lot and I have a lot of skills but the freedom of the merchandising position and the new experience is too enticing to pass up.
So where am I going with this? Basically I'm stuck in the warehouse doing a job I'm good at and consistent at while I wait for my new job experience to begin. It's not horrible but it's not wonderful. It's trudging along.
I thank Alliance Beverage and all my coworkers for teaching me the basics and becoming a better worker in the warehouse but I am so ready to move on. So there is some anticipation along with some nerves to move on to this new position. I hope the new employee is coming in the near future but right now as Ryan Key once sang "It's a waiting game".
And I'm gonna keep waiting.
